its cool how two of the biggest tech companies are also the global leader in enabling scams (Meta) and the global leader in fencing stolen goods and selling counterfeit ones (Amazon)
If 10% of my business was based on defrauding and scamming people, and was called a "pillar of the global fraud economy", I would have some serious moral qualms about my business. Not our friends at Meta though.

Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show
Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, and it internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day, company documents show.

The best part of having POTS and needing extra salt to stabilize your blood pressure is when someone starts selling counterfeit electrolytes that have no salt in them at all!
If you have POTS, double check the site you’re buying from, especially on mobile.

Think counterfeit goods element also underplayed.
But also a lot of dislike is driven by smaller bad practices around not dealing with their rubbish and stuff.

It's the Instagram-flaunting "wealth" with a CHEAP blatant counterfeit (as though no one would be able to tell) that got me going. There are so many actually good counterfeits out there (not that you should support them), and someone spent money on this?
